Sigur Ros - Gong (Unofficial)
2 years ago
This video was inspired by two windy days and the music of Sigur Ros, specifically the track "Gong" from the album Takk. They're amazing.
It is my first attempt at making a video, and any criticism/advice would be greatly appreciated. :)
How it came about: I was bored sitting in the basement, another overcast day. Then I looked up and saw all the trees swaying back and forth. "Gong" happened to be playing at the time, and it just seemed to work. So i put on my iPod, put "Gong" on repeat, and headed out into the woods.
All shots were taken either in my backyard or at one of two local parks I visited.
I know it gets shaky and pretty dark at points. Sorry about that. Just recently got the XHA1S...and no tripod yet.
Equipment: Canon XHA1S , FCP
Any questions, please feel free to ask.

Moishe Kapoyr 2 years agoGreat camera, nice video as well. However, were you just using the stock preset? Have you tried any of the custom presets yet? I think you would be very happy with them. -
Patrick Shewmaker 2 years agoyea just the stock preset. i got your email with the links. thanks alot. ill check them out. i actually thought i loaded most of the presets from dvinfo.net into my camera, but i guess i didnt. or maybe i didnt have it turned on. I'm not sure... -
Jacob Barba 2 years agoNice video! I had a very similar idea for a video using a Sigur Ros song but it never took off, and it looks like you live in a better place for shots like this. -

Mark Birney 1 year agoI like the shaky cam effect. It makes it feel as if you are moving with the wind and not some artificial element anchoring you to the ground. -
